Exposure to mold, rats, cockroaches, bed bugs, and lead-based paint can be devastating to health. Inner City Law Center educates and organizes tenants and forces landlords to repair buildings and to improve unhealthy conditions. Inner City Law Center sues landlords who fail to comply with the legal requirement of providing safe and decent housing. Inner City Law Center forces slumlords to fix up their buildings and pay damages to their low-income tenants. Over the past decade, we have recovered tens of millions of dollars for hundreds of low-income tentants. 958592 Homelessness Prevention Project: Inner City Law Center provides assistance with eviction defense and public benefits to help keep low-income families in their homes, prevent homelessness, and preserve affordable housing. Inner City Law Center's innovative project provides free legal counsel that aims to keep families in their homes and off the streets. Last year we kept more than 2,100 people in their homes and recovered over $1.6 million in waived rent and relocation assistance. 377211 Homeless Veterans Project: Inner City Law Center represents disabled homeless veterans in their claims for disability benefits, with particular focus on service connected disabilities, such as post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma. We also advocate for discharge upgrades and expungement of minor criminal offenses and provide housing and benefits assistance to ensure veterans are able to obtain and maintain stable housing and receive the benefits and healthcare they need and they earned based on their military service. Last year, ICLC's homeless veterans project staff, aided by fifty volunteer lawyers, proved comprehensive legal services for almost 400 veterans, resulting in our clients receiving more than $1.5 million in retroactive VA benefits and increasing their future annual VA benefits by more than $750,000. Almost all of these veterans also received higher priority level access to VA healthcare as a result of our advocacy. 125581 Other program services - ICLS's HIV/AIDS project, servicing low income people living with HIV/AIDS and ICLS's Policy Advocacy Project, promotes policy changes to reduce systemic barriers to safe and affordable housing. 125581 2538090 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 52 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 40 40 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X Inner City Law Center 2138912880 1309 EAST 7TH STREET LOS ANGELES CA 90021 Michael E Cobo President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Esbenshade Vice-President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Caroline Heindel CFO 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Janet S Combs Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Alder Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Audero Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 James DC Barrall Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Holger G Besch Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Blasi Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Terree A Bowers Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marshall A Camp Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carla T Clement Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy P Dillon Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eric P Enson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Firtel Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lois R Fishman Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Var Fox Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas A Freiberg Jr Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 John M Gatti Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elliot K Gordon Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Noah Graff Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Hoffman Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Kabateck Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Randall W Keen Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carlos M Lazatin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael M Maddigan Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deana Ng Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 John O'Malley Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sharon Oxborough Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Ruvelson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole J Simonian Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Fisch Solomon Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Geoffrey Stover Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Tayback Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 David M Walsh Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Doris Wang Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bradley E Wolf Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael L Wolfram Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dorothy Wolpert Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Woods Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Murray Executive Director 40.00 X 178571 0 49450 Amos E Hartston Chief Counsel/Dir. of Legal Serv. 40.00 X 133817 0 6691 312388 0 56141 2 0 1 0 0 710149 465402 1362942 2538493 Legal fees 541100 355294 355294 355294 35213 35213 895 0 895 895 895 56452 710149 56452 0 Cy Pres Awards 900099 110490 110490 Other income 900099 1183 1183 111673 3041568 355294 0 147781 228021 68396 91229 68396 1948170 1654750 153679 139741 74606 64313 3579 6714 198336 158328 16459 23549 168974 137981 16629 14364 51087 4087 42913 4087 4836 4836 11955 2668 6287 3000 800 800 52939 39409 4175 9355 19276 16403 1700 1173 118319 100685 10436 7198 23172 22647 460 65 9777 9295 482 47061 40047 4151 2863 19101 16254 1685 1162 Client legal services 145506 145506 Equipment 28336 24563 2499 1274 Repair and maintenance 18597 15826 1640 1131 Dues and publications 12227 12227 15452 3905 9712 1835 3196548 2538090 372069 286389 3064 62110 1012866 442875 352883 305691 298887 187023 45478 18422 1044242 312876 772369 731366 101140 726174 5985 5985 2592672 2479646 278882 354067 17442 1692 296324 355759 X 1340790 1884982 955558 238905 2296348 2123887 2592672 2479646 X -154980 -17483 2 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1489907 1970009 2823173 2552889 2538493 11374471 1489907 1970009 2823173 2552889 2538493 11374471 11374471 30821 18997 13305 9174 36787 109084 -3410 -1529 200 -1619 110490 104132 11587687 930303 0.98160 0.99160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1745 1745 3194803 3196548 309827 77457 0 0 283308 308115 318657 309827 1219907 1829861 665 3718 1892 1745 8020 70827 77029 79664 77457 304977 457466 868932 186985 681947 175310 125891 49419 731366 X 12981416 -17483 9957331 9939848 3041568 0 3041568 13153879 9957331 9957331 3196548 0 3196548 Part X, Line 2: ICLC is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all positions taken by ICLC in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. ICLC's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they filed.
